Let's get together and make a plan for DrupalCamp Michigan 2015.
For now, let's meet in #drupal-michigan on IRC. From there, we can look to using other mediums such as Google Hangouts and/or Skype in the future.
We're looking to establish "on the ground" volunteers in an undecided Michigan city to help establish the necessary resources to host the camp.
Please stop by and chat to share your opinions.

Hey everyone, tonight is our normally scheduled a2Drupal meeting, but it is supposed to be colder than the dickens and probably snowing again. Given that lots of people come from a distance, I thought I would check if anyone was planning to attend.
If people do show up, I was planning on demoing the media module. If not, I can easily do that in February instead. So show of hands, who would prefer to keep the meeting tonight, and who would rather cancel?
